 Nothing is more curious in the history of handkerchiefs than the period when French women were supposed to be innocent of the existence of such an article, the handker- chief then being tabooed in polite conversa- ton, while it was beyond the daring of an actor or actress to exhibit handkerchief on the stage, however fearful the dramatic situ- ation might be. Mademoiselle Duchenois was brave enough to break the rule by car rying a handkerchief in her hand; but when the exigencies of the scene compelled an allusion to the obnoxious piece of cam brio, she spoke of it as '1ight tissue;" and years afterward cries of indignation saluted the utterance of the awful word of De Vigne's adaptations of Shakespeare. Jose phine, the empress, brought this to an end. She had bad teeth, and to hide them she adopted the custom of carrying small square handkerchief bordered with costly lace, which she was constantly raising to her lips.
 The ladies of the court initiated this and the handkerchief was elevated to the inpor- tant position it has ever since maintained in the feminine toilet. After the Empress Jo-

 Somebody wrote to the editor of village paper to ask how he would 'break an ox." The editor replied as follows: "If only one OK, good way would be to hoist him by means of long chain attached to his tail, to the top of pole 40 feet from the ground. Then hoist him by rope tied to his horns to another pole. Then descend to his back a five ton pile driver, and if that don't break him let him start 8 country newspaper and trust people for subscription. One of the two ways will do it sure )

That is the wedge which will split the solid South, the power which will dissipate the prejudices of which Senator Sherman speaks.

NUTM EGS.

How They Get Their White Color and
 Why Girls Wear Them on Their
 Necks.
 From the New York Evening Sum-
 Down in the cellar of Water street ware house man was shoveling nutmegs into coarse sieve and rattling away like a frugal housekeeper with an ash sitter.
 "What's the matter with them" ventured a bystander.
 Nothing" answered the performer. ''Don't you see I'm only grading them!'
 "Won't the grocer charge more for big nutmeg than for little one?"
 ''Well, right here in these boxes the nuts are just as they came from Singapore and Batavia. They are what the trade calls 'one hundred and tens, that is one hundred and ten nuts to the pound, and that is the way this firm bought 'ern; but as matter of fact one hundred and tens average better than that, and it pays us to pick out the big ones and sell them separately-see? The largest nuts run about seventy to the pound, but there are some feather weights that go ten to the ounce.'
 ''What makes them look so white!'
 Cline. It was shaken over them when they were packed for shipment. It keeps them fresh and it weighs something too. When you buy nutmegs in the East each one of these boxes goes for half picul. But the New York jobber takes very little for granted when he puts his money into mer- chandise that has sailed as far as these nuts have. Every box of them has got to be weighed on the Yankee beam, and on free doms own soil too; and what is more, ten per cent. of every parcel must be Jared be- fore the jobber lets go of his silver dollars. Foreign weights must be naturalized like the foreigner himself before we take much stock in them.
 ''Nutmegs that average one hundred and ten to the pound cost us about half cent apiece, but before they get to the snowy head of milk punch, or into the inner rich ness of rice pudding, they cost the consul mer two to three cents each. Formerly Sin gapore used to have the lead on Batavia for nutmegs, but now honors easy. Nutmeg immigrants from the latter port usually call at the Dutch paternal home in Rotterdam and then take a steamer hence, but the Sin gapore variety, true to natural instinct, gen erally drops in at London to see the old folks before winding up at the foot of Hudson street, New York The direct steamers all berth on the East river side, and discharge their cargo of aromatic exiles amid the faded glories of Cherry Hill.
 Cots of pretty girls wear nutmeg round their necks as charm against sickness. It is to them like scapular to the pious, or the face of her beloved to the love-lorn maid"

 Paul Grottkau, who has just been found guilty of heading the Socialist riots in Mil waukee last summer, is 8 fair specimen of the gang who are trying to make this coun- try over. He has been here but little over year and can speak no English.
 The New York assembly can do foolish thing when it wants to. To please "the la bor element" it passed bill constituting ten hours days work for drivers of street cars. As these drivers are paid by the trip it is i'm possible to see what good such measure can do them.

 As there are now in Connecticut two hun dred and forty-two more grade crossings than there were thirteen years ago, and as every one of these additional crossings was made while the law declared that "every railroad company which may locate and construct a railroad across any turnpike, highway, or public street shall construct it so as to cross over or under the same" it is evident that the law hasn't amounted to much.
 Germany seems to be pretty healthy country. At the time of the last census there were in the empire no fewer than 232 persons who had completed their hundredth year. Of these 72 were men and 160 women. The oldest man in Germany was 8 man in his 120th year: the next was man in his 18th year; the next was woman in her 117th year. There were thirteen old fellows of 106 and ten danes of 107. A lady of 115 was returned as being a spinster.
 Those who make laws against oleomarga- rine in this country can learn something from Prussia. The Prussian law on the sub feet of oleomargarine is about ten lines in length, but it covers the ground. The man. ufacture and sale of imitation butter are prohibited, but oleo may be made and sold without penalty provided it is not colored like butter. Violation of this provision is punishable by fine and imprisonment. In the United States the real offense is not made unlawful.
 Judge Clark of the Supreme court of New Hampshire is one of those who think news papers are too free with their remarks. In passing sentence recently he used the follow ing rather vigorous language: Reference has been made by counsel to criticisms by news papers upon the conduct of the prosecuting officers in accepting pleas in criminal cases. Such remarks by newspapers are nuisance. l They have no knowledge of the facts that are | in the hands of prosecuting officers, and are therefore not in position to judge what disposition is proper in each particular case. Such conduct by newspaper is an improper meddling with the administration of justice, and don't propose to pay any attention to | it except to condemn it.
